I am a rioter in Minneapolis, 4chan convinced me the protests are bullshit

I'm not sure if this is the correct board for this topic but I feel like I need to share it with /pol/ as well. I'm a white guy from the suburbs outside of Minneapolis. I went to college in Minneapolis and love the city. Ever since the George Floyd incident, I was extremely sympathetic to the cause, and I felt like I needed to do something to help. I'm aware that this is a 4chan account, but I was unsympathetic and even hostile to the far right. I worked for Ilhan Omar's campaign in 2018 while I was in college and was a big supporter of hers up until a couple of days ago. <br><br>I decided to go to a riot in Minneapolis yesterday and I'm very glad I did. Even though my rioting experience was mildly terrifying and dangerous, I received a lot of support from the crowd when I told people I was there to support George Floyd. At the riots I saw a lot of radical leftists and even some literal communists. I'd say around 50% of the people there were white, most of the rest were black, and there were a few hispanic people as well. The radical leftists were taking advantage of the situation to push their agenda and were using it as an excuse to destroy things. I saw a few people holding "free palestine" signs, and a few Marxists who were distributing papers on need for a revolutionary vanguard.<br><br>After being there for a while, I decided to leave when the tear gas started getting intense. On my way out, I met a radical leftist who was aware of my support for Ilhan Omar. He immediately called me a "liberal" and said "fuck your fucking goddamn motherfuckin bitch ass" in response to me telling him I supported Ilhan. He called me a "fascist" and a "racist". I tried explaining to him that I was trying to help, but he wouldn't listen and I could tell there was no way I could logically reason with him. <br><br>Ilhan Omar has been unconditionally supporting this rioting, as if the rioters were made up of innocent peaceful people who are being oppressed by the police. I realize now that this movement is not about justice for George Floyd. If it was, radical leftists wouldn't be trying to destroy my city to push a broader agenda. I'm extremely disappointed in Ilhan's response to this and have lost all respect for her. I love my city and I want justice for George Floyd, not anarchy.
